    Am I able to recover the files from a reformatted hard drive if a recovery image file was made?


    Hi! I recently reformatted an old hard drive from an old pc to use it in my new pc, which created a recovery image. In that recovery image is my old bootable windows 10 OS data originally windows 8, but updated to windows 10 . I have recently decided to upgrade my old pc to make it viable again and am trying to recover the files from the reformatted hard drive so that I may boot into my old windows 10 OS with the old pc. Is this possible?

    :)

    Help recovering files off portable Hard drive

    Hi all a friend of mine has broken his hard drive he's been quoted £200 from a data recovery company in the city which i think is very ott *Eek! Am I able to recover the files from a reformatted hard drive if a recovery image file was made? :eek:. I said id take a look at it to see if i can recover so files off it.Just wondered what would be regarded as the best data recovery software to use?

    He said the hard drive is being recongnised by the pc & that he was told that if he open the hard drive up it would be permanently wiped???? as i was thinking about hooking it up to my pc as a slave drive? i will try to recover the data files first any other ideas?
